Non-Tourist Postcards #23

Your envelope is just stunning! Even the postage colors and shapes coordinate perfectly. Then the lovely Minnie dancing on a cloud notecard and your amazing recollections of the Dry Tortugas Islands: weathered in for 2 weeks of rum and seafood picnics!!!! And then your casual mention of CREWING in a CUP RACE to HAVANA!!!! What a wild and wonderful, adventurous life you've enjoyed. Cavorting with dolphin and discovering huge lobster! When you publish your memoirs, boring old me will be in line for an autographed copy. Oh yes, there was also a swap enclosed -- and of course as always you chose remarkable postcards for me A new National Park card for my collection - and the info that the surgeon who set the leg of Lincoln's assassin was imprisoned there for several years! I love the art card of the Siamese cat, typewriter, cruise ship, vintage bathing beauty riding a shark, Broadway stage, watercolor and bookplates - wow, all delights, straight from my profile! And you always are generous with extras, kind lady. So sorry to hear how your health changed so quickly - hope the doctors can get you much improved quickly, too. I sure feel like I've aged many years since Covid invaded our lives. I am really struck by how much our mental health and lack of social interaction can influence our physical well being. Take care and yeah, let's stay above the daisies! (I will turn 72 on Cinco de Mayo!)
